Product details
Overview
LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow-quiescent-current energy harvesting power supply IC integrating a full-wave bridge rectifier and hysteretic buck regulator. It targets high-impedance AC sources (e.g., piezoelectric transducers), operates from 2.7V–20V input, delivers up to 100mA at pin-selectable outputs (1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/3.6V), and features 450nA UVLO quiescent current - enabling efficient micro-power operation in wireless sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF pinout, LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF application, or LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed output voltage selection logic, real-world efficiency curves across load and input voltage, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for nanopower energy harvesting designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF implements a dual-rail internal gate drive architecture: CAP (VIN-referenced) drives the PMOS high-side switch, while VIN2 (GND-referenced, regulated at ~4.8V) drives the NMOS low-side switch and serves as logic-high reference for D0/D1. Its UVLO uses wide hysteresis (≥1V) with rising/falling thresholds tied to selected VOUT - e.g., 4.04V/2.87V for 2.5V output - preventing short cycling during intermittent energy capture.
Operation relies on burst-mode hysteretic regulation: the buck sleeps when VOUT is within ±12mV of target, waking only to recharge COUT when voltage drops below sleep threshold; peak switch current is 260mA (typ), and internal shunt clamps VIN at 20V (typ) with 25mA pull-down capability above that threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 20V - supports wide-range piezoelectric, solar, or magnetic transducer inputs; internal 20V shunt protects against overvoltage. |
| Quiescent Current (UVLO) | 450nA (typ) - enables multi-day energy accumulation from µA-level harvesters before first regulation event. |
| Output Voltage Options | 1.8V / 2.5V / 3.3V / 3.6V - selected via D0/D1 logic pins tied to GND or VIN2; no external resistors required. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 100mA - delivered by synchronous buck stage with 1.1Ω PMOS and 1.3Ω NMOS RDS(ON). |
| PGOOD Threshold Accuracy | 92% of selected VOUT - provides reliable enable signal for microcontrollers without external monitoring circuitry. |
| Bridge Rectifier Drop | 400mV (typ) at 10µA - minimizes loss when rectifying low-current AC from piezoelectric elements. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive-grade embedded sensor environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic eMSOP (MSE), 3mm × 3mm footprint, exposed pad (Pin 11) = GND - requires soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PZ1, PZ2 | Differential AC input terminals | Connect to piezoelectric element; form full-wave bridge - no external diodes needed. |
| CAP | VIN-referenced gate drive rail | Supplies PMOS gate drive; requires 1µF bypass to VIN - not usable as system rail. |
| VIN | Rectified input energy reservoir | Stores harvested energy; internally clamped at 20V; supplies buck input and CAP/VIN2 rails. |
| SW | Buck switch node | Connects to inductor (≥10µH); carries peak current up to 350mA (abs max). |
| VOUT | Regulated output sense & delivery | Feedback node; delivers up to 100mA; output capacitor sized for burst loads beyond average rating. |
| VIN2 | GND-referenced gate drive & logic rail | Regulated at ~4.8V; powers NMOS gate and serves as D0/D1 logic-high reference. |
| D0, D1 | Output voltage select bits | Binary-coded inputs (00/01/10/11) set VOUT to 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/3.6V - no floating states allowed. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Logic-high (referenced to VOUT) when output ≥92% of target - wakes MCU or enables RF transmission. |
| GND (EP) | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 11) must be soldered to PCB ground plane via multiple vias for thermal dissipation (θJA = 45°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated full-wave bridge rectifier | Eliminates 4 external diodes; 400mV drop at 10µA enables >85% rectification efficiency for piezo sources. |
| Ultralow UVLO quiescent current | 450nA allows multi-hour energy accumulation from 10–50µA harvesters before first buck activation. |
| Hysteretic buck regulation with sleep mode | Reduces switching losses at light loads; maintains <100nA output quiescent current during sleep. |
| 20V input shunt protection | Clamps excess energy at VIN - enables use of smaller input capacitors while supporting high-voltage piezo peaks. |
| Pin-selectable output voltages | Four fixed outputs (1.8V–3.6V) configured via D0/D1 logic - avoids trimming resistors and layout complexity. |
| PGOOD with hysteresis | Asserts when VOUT reaches sleep threshold and holds until falling to 92% - ensures stable MCU wake-up timing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower energy harvesting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17710G+T | Integrated Li-ion charger + 100mA buck; requires external piezo rectifier; 1.2µA quiescent current in shutdown. | Designed for rechargeable thin-film batteries; less suitable for direct piezo-to-regulator architectures. | Choose MAX17710G+T only if battery buffering is required; LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF offers lower quiescent current and integrated rectification. |
| BQ25504RGTT | MPPT-enabled boost converter; 330nA quiescent current; no integrated bridge; requires external AC-DC conversion. | Optimized for low-power solar cells; lacks native piezo interface and 20V shunt protection. | Select BQ25504RGTT for solar harvesting; LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF is superior for piezo/magnetic sources due to bridge + shunt + UVLO tuning. |
Compared with MAX17710G+T and BQ25504RGTT, the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF uniquely combines piezo-optimized bridge rectification, 20V input shunt, and sub-500nA UVLO - making it the only part among the three qualified for direct, resistorless, maintenance-free deployment with high-impedance vibrational sources.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF to begin regulation?
The LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF starts regulation when VIN exceeds the UVLO rising threshold, which depends on the selected output voltage: 3.77V for 1.8V output, 4.04V for 2.5V, 4.73V for 3.3V, and 5.05V for 3.6V (all typical values). Below these thresholds, the device remains in 450nA UVLO mode to accumulate charge.
Can the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF operate with a single-ended DC input instead of AC piezoelectric input?
Yes - the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF can accept a single-ended DC source applied to PZ1 while tying PZ2 to GND (or vice versa), effectively using one side of the internal bridge as a diode. However, PZ1 and PZ2 must never be shorted together, and the input must remain within the 2.7V–20V operating range specified for VIN.
How does the PGOOD pin behave when input power is lost after regulation is achieved?
Once LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF achieves regulation, PGOOD asserts high and remains high even if VIN falls below UVLO - it only deasserts when VOUT drops to 92% of the selected output voltage. This allows downstream circuitry to continue operating using stored energy in COUT after the harvester stops generating power.
What is the maximum allowable inductor value for the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF buck stage?
The LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF datasheet specifies a minimum inductor value of 10µH but does not define a hard upper limit. Practical design guidance indicates inductors up to 100µH maintain stable hysteretic operation; larger values reduce peak current and ripple but increase startup time and may degrade light-load efficiency due to higher DCR losses.
Is the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the LTC3588IMSE-1#PBF carries the #PBF suffix, indicating lead-free finish per JEDEC J-STD-609. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is rated for reflow soldering up to 260°C (MSE package). The exposed pad is electrically and thermally connected to GND and must be soldered to ensure reliability.
